Hypoport SE: platform-based business models go from strength to strength

  • Transaction volume on Europace up by 25 per cent compared with first half of 2020
  • Cooperative banks remain the fastest-growing user group with a rise of more than 80 per cent; increase of over 35 per cent for the savings banks
  • VALUE AG's valuation volume and FIO's sales volume advance by more than 30 per cent and 40 per cent respectively

Berlin, 19 July 2021: The Hypoport Group's platform-based business models for private home- buying recorded strong double-digit percentage increases in their operational key figures for the first six months of 2021. Once again, growth rates therefore significantly exceeded those of the relevant markets and affiliated B2B partners were able to improve their efficiency and capture further market share.

Credit Platform segment: In the first half of 2021, Europace significantly increased its transaction volume*. The total volume swelled by 25 per cent to €52 billion, while the transaction volume per sales day** advanced by 26 per cent to over €420 million. Mortgage finance, which is by far the largest product group, saw its transaction volume grow by 28 per cent to €43 billion. In the second-largest product group, building finance, the transaction volume rose by 8 per cent to around €7 billion even though the market as a whole shrank slightly. The volume in the smallest product group, personal loans, increased by 12 per cent to €2 billion despite the very sharp contraction of the market as a whole.

FINMAS, the sub-marketplace for institutions in the savings banks sector, increased its volume of transactions* by 37 per cent to more than €5.3 billion in the first six months of 2021. In the cooperative banking sector, institutions used the dedicated GENOPACE sub-marketplace to generate a volume of €6.3 billion, an impressive jump of 83 per cent. Alongside these groups of banks, the volume generated by non-captive financial product distributors and, in particular, private commercial banks also expanded at a much faster rate than the market, with increases of over 15 per cent and around 25 per cent respectively.

Private Clients segment: The volume* brokered by Dr. Klein amounted to more than €5.1 billion in the first half of 2021, which was up by 12 per cent on the already high figure reported in the prior-year period.

Real Estate Platform segment: The property valuation platform of VALUE AG and the property sales platform of FIO Systems AG have continued to improve their operational key figures this year. The value of residential properties inspected and appraised by VALUE AG went up by 31 per cent to €15.3 billion. The value of the properties sold by FIO rose by 41 per cent to €9.3 billion.

Insurance Platform segment: Data on the migration of the insurance portfolios from the individual solutions of acquirees to the centralised SMART INSUR platform has been published since the start of

2021, and further progress was made with the migration in the second quarter. The volume that had been migrated as at 30 June 2021 totalled €2.97 billion, an increase of 8 per cent since the start of the year.

Ronald Slabke, Chief Executive Officer of Hypoport SE, expressed his satisfaction with the Group's operating performance in the first half of the year: "Whereas the respective markets as a whole expanded only slightly, or even contracted slightly, we were able to significantly increase the volumes on our B2B platforms. This positive trend, which is set to continue for many years to come, is benefiting our partners and Hypoport alike."

figures shown, which exclude subsequent cancellations. Neither the revenue nor the earnings generated by

Hypoport can be directly extrapolated from the transaction figures given above.
